Likes to roughhouse and play ball

Is very good at explaining things just like his Dad

Did basketball, baseball and scouts this year

Likes to ride his bike (now new one)

Likes to play video games (along and with friends)

He is eager to learn about Russia

He would try just about anything in food

He is good at protecting Kyra and I from insects

He still asks me to lay with him for a couple minutes in his bed before going to sleep

He still holds my hand on the way from school to the car (and I love it :)

He wants me to come to his school when I can

He is really fast getting ready in the mornings and with no reminders
He is VERY polite, with please and thank yous all around
He is good to give someone a call or ask a sale person for assistance
He likes to please us
When he wants to try something new, he almost gets obsessed with it :)

I feel like he really matured this past year. Most important, my Brandon-Bear is loved. A lot. <3
